I wish I could make up my mind on this issue because it's the only thing that's stopped me from getting well and truly stuck in to my Survivor!Deathfic!YoKen!Angst fun. If I stick with a close third-person and very much focus on Ken I won't have to do a lot of Aya anyway, but all the same, do i really want to off Omi when I find him a lot easier to characterize and suspect that losing him would have the team utterly falling apart in no time at all anyway?

And yeah, I would have to worry about Aya-chan if I was to off Aya. But that could be interesting too... *only writes 'Kapitel' fics* The dilemma of it all. But can't kill Ken. Or Youji. There'd be no fic if I did!

I love the idea of Ken and a cat. It's... gah. Just SO CUTE. The cute and fluff of it all gets into my head and turns me into a happy, giggling, gooey mess. I wish there was more art of Weiss with kitties. I wish I could actually draw so I could do justice to this picture idea I had of Ken holding a cat. But I can't. I write fanfic and that's about my limit.

Ah. Then it is a good thing the cat stayed out of the closet. Besides, if I'd put the cat in there too it might have been harder to get Youji to make his move. Oh the move. God damn, it's hard to write kissing scenes. Or I find it hard anyway. Cannot do sexy lemon to save my life. Took me three fics (three damned fics, mind) to get Youji and Ken to have sex... eesh. Kitties are cool, though. I love kitties. And Ken. Always love Ken.

I hear ya on the angst addiction. I just discovered the Oh-So-Awesome Sidara has written a very much Ken-oriented sequel/companion/whatever to a Schuldich fic I fell head over heels for (my only complaint is it's RanKen and there's too much fan-Japanese, but I'll deal for the sake of TEH AWESOME ANGST) and it makes me want to write more 'Seuche' because I love the angst. I absolutely love and adore and worship the angst. Which is good.

I will have to write fic and fill your brain with Bad Influence, then. I'm glad I found this fic. It makes me want to write ANGST. Go, angst!

Hmmm, you DO have a problem. And it's a hard one to consider, too. O.o Kill Aya or Omi? (Kill both! Leave only Ken and Youji to cuddle with each other! ... do not listen to these internal fangirl suggestions, okay?) I do like how you write your Omi an awful lot in Seuche, I must admit-- it would be a shame to lose that edge in this upcoming piece, especially if it could play a nice part in the story unfolding. Hmmmmmm.

I know what you mean about only writing Kapitel fic, too. ^^;; I like the timeline better. And Gluhen changes so much that I'm always reluctant to even try thinking about touching it with a ten foot pole... (I mean, it wasn't bad, but I liked the original series better.)

I knooow, there should be so much more art with Weiss and kitties! There's an official piece with them in pajamas, I think, lounging around with cats. But they aren't being as cuddly as they could be! I demand the fuzzy snuggles! As a rightful reward for our hard work and dedication to the WK realm, we deserve fuzzy snuggles!

... or nekkid Ken.

... but not both, because that disturbs me.

Ahem. Anyway. I might have to look up this Schuldich fic you like so much and its companion. *curious* I read a lot of WK, but I don't remember anything RanKen that had a particularly good Schu in it, unless you count the series in the future where Schwarz had succeeded in reviving the One. Or whatever it was. (It's been a long time since I remember reading that one... O.o)

Waaah! Good look on your fic! *beams* With your mad skillz, I'm sure you'll pull it off wonderfully with whatever you choose to do!





(... NO MORE FROSTED FLAKES.)

Killing both would be excessive, I think. *knocks out inner-fangirl yelling about Angst and Cuddles* I admit I'm leaning toward killing Aya, for all losing Omi would be angstier, simply because of the 'Omi's easier to write' thing... besides which, I really like Omi, at least in Kapitel. He's such a sweetheart and I don't know if I can bring myself to kill him.

(And Omi was my first Weiss-Love back when I was eighteen, so...)

Gluhen... hm. Haven't actually seen it - the anime hasn't had an official release in the UK yet so I'm still going off my Kapitel fansubs - but I've heard it changes a lot, the plot sounds insane, Ken goes insane and the character designs look whacked. They're nice designs for the most part (ahemSchwarzahem), but they're not really right for the characters.

I know the official art piece you mean (yay, cats and pajamas). I've had that one lying round my hard drive for a while (Ken should probably not wear dark colors for preference; they make him look so slight it's scary) and it's cute. Thinking about it, I'm guessing the cats they're dealing with might be anime renditions of the breeds they're named after. I really think the cat Youji has draped round his neck might be a Balinese - they look rather like Siamese cats but their fur is longer. And most Abyssinians are red, and I think the cat staring out Aya is also red. So maybe that's it.

You're right, both would be disturbing? Hey, have you seen the official art which has the guys in towels and not much else? Love that, but I couldn't not love that.

That sounds like an interesting premise for a fic. The one you read, I mean. I'm curious as to that one. The sad thing about that fic and its companion is really, the Aya x Ken thing just doesn't quite work in the context it's put in and there's a lot of fan-Japanese in them. I hate fan-Japanese. Really. It's so annoying, because otherwise the fic's a well-written one. Good fiction shouldn't shoot itself in the foot like that because it's just too damned depressing. I mean a bad fic would have been bad regardless, but when a good fic can't quite pull off its pairing, it's sad. I think Ken ends out coming off as a bit of a doormat and though he's having a hellishly bad time in that fic, but I think he's got rather more spirit than he's been granted.

(I kind of get annoyed by Victimized!Ken fics sometimes, because he's slightly too beaten down. He's not angry enough about it and it seems wrong for him. It's a fine line on which we walk...)

Thanks for the luck! I appreciate it. I'm not exactly uninspired at the moment, but I'm having trouble settling to things. I'm having a 'who am I kidding I can actually write?' moment. Stupid of me... but I shall overcome!

Gluhen has different character designs, yeah. They killed Youji. And about killed Omi, but I suppose we'll live. Aya got off okay. Ken turned... disturbingly pretty, but he doesn't always seem the same kind of person, so it makes me twitch.

Otherwise, the series isn't that bad. It has its moments, anyway.

(And by the way, when I say "kill," I only mean they really screwed over the character designs. Erm. Not kill kill, yanno?)

I like angry Ken better, too. *heart* Because I think Ken's the toughest out of all of them-- he lives in the real world more than the others sometimes, if that makes sense, and with the exception of Omi he has the best grounded personality. He's just a guy. A guy who had bad things happen to him, but he's surviving. I appreciate that the most. ♥

... Ken love suddenly attacks! MUST READ MORE KEN ANGST. *frantically runs to Seuche*

(... am so pathetic.)
